Christian said other admissions included “locked mental health rehabilitation placements, such as after stepping down from low secure forensic wards”.
Placements to “specialist perinatal mother and baby units, or placements to specialist eating disorder units” were also included.
The average length of stay for an adult is just short of a year at 322 days, while under 18s have an average stay of 10 days.

From 2023-25, that number rose to seven.
Christian added that people in long term “complex placements” may be counted in more than one year, “therefore the total numbers may be different to the individual number of patients”.
